Clemson 9, SU 5

It's a pretty electric atmosphere here in an almost soldout Littlejohn Coliseum and Clemson is clearly feeding off that early. The Tigers have hit three 3-pointers to take the early lead.

Syracuse has baskets from Darryl Watkins and Eric Devendorf and a free throw from Terrence Roberts. The Orange is 0-for-3 from 3-point range.

Clemson has given Syracuse some trouble with its fullcourt press on every basket or deadball. SU has committed just one turnover against the pressure (a Demetris Nichols charge), but the Orange has struggled with passes against the press and hasn't been able to get any easy baskets against it.
